Never confirmed design for a large coat of arms of Finland 1936

The Swedish King John III. Finland reported a coat of arms, consisting of a red shield on which a golden lion was seen.

On the shield is a crown. This coat of arms was only for " Egentliga Finland" ( Sr., finn: Varsinais -Suomi, Finland Proper ), which had the area around Turku including Åland with Turku as the capital.

When Finland became independent in 1917, the Swedish coat of arms for Finland was declared the Finnish coat of arms. However, the crown was removed and made some changes. So now only nine roses were depicted, which took to decorate now represent the nine historic Finnish parts of the country.

The golden lion holding only the straight European sword in the hand of a strongly worded arm, while he tramples the Tartar scimitar. In today's state flag of Finland this coat of arms can be seen even in the middle of the cross.
